Love et voila in the palisades. Have a table in the back part of the restaurant.
Have you tried open table for range? You can get in during the week.

I love Tavira and they have a great little private room off the main dining room.

This was crazy loud both times I was there.

Buck's (next to Politics and Prose)

Terasol (across the street from Politics and Prose)

Both small, intimate settings with good food and on a week night you might have the place to yourselves.

They won't put a party of 6 in the back room. I like the food though.

Clydes in NW?

Indique Heights?
Bethesda: Mon ami Gabi

Range is not that great, over rated. big time

Ha! Good to know - I haven't made it there yet

Range and "not over the top loud" are not possible.

OP here. I had thought about Chef Geoff's - that's a good one. I had completely forgotten about Matisse - nice suggestion. And while I love Ripple - it can be a little too crowded. I'll have to check out the Bethesda recs as I don't know any of those. Thanks!

Ripple?

Matisse on Wisc. Ave near Friendship Heights has an upstairs that is quiet and can be rented as a private room. I had my very small and intimate rehearsal dinner up there.

Food and Wine Co. in Bethesda?
Tavira?
Sushi-Ko?
Founding Farmers (might be out of the way)

Looking for someplace to take a group of 6 where the food is good with a nice atmosphere but not too over the top loud. Bonus would be private rooms or semi-private sitting areas that you could reserve. Upscale but not at the top of the expense chain

Any recs? If I could get a reservation at Range -I'd go there!
